OSSL_PROVIDER−base − OpenSSL base provider
The OpenSSL base provider supplies the encoding for OpenSSL’s asymmetric cryptography.
Properties
The implementations in this provider specifically have this
property defined:
"provider=base"
It may be used in a property query string with fetching functions.
It isn’t
mandatory to query for this property, except to make sure to
get implementations of this provider and none other.
"type=parameters"
"type=private"
"type=public"
These may be
used in a property query string with fetching functions to
select which data are to be encoded. Either the private key
material, the public key material or the domain parameters
can be selected.
"format=der"
"format=pem"
"format=text"
These may be used in a property query string with fetching functions to select the encoding output format. Either the DER, PEM and plaintext are currently permitted.
The OpenSSL base provider supports these operations and algorithms:
Random
Number Generation
SEED-SRC, see
EVP_RAND−SEED−SRC (7)
In addition to this provider, the "SEED-SRC" algorithm is also available in the default provider.

OSSL_STORE−winstore(7)
In addition to this provider, all of these store algorithms are also available in the default provider.
OSSL_PROVIDER−default(7), openssl−core.h(7), openssl−core_dispatch.h(7), provider(7)
This functionality was added in OpenSSL 3.0.
